This item is imported by Indigenous, a pioneer in the fair trade and organic apparel market who works directly with artisans and their knitting cooperatives -- building strong partnerships which produce sustainable commerce. The artisans are assisted with quality control measures, production and planning management, as well as research and design for the local and world markets.
Knitting in many cultures is a time-honored tradition that has significant cultural meaning and purpose but sometimes does not yield the financial rewards that it should. Prices are set together with the cooperatives in the hope that your purchase will economically enable these artisans to guide their own development in a way that sustains tradition, home, land use, and community bonds while resisting destructive influences.
Indigenous minimizes the impact to our environment through the development and use of the finest natural fiber blends, yarns and dyes. With your support, they continue down this path to honor both people and planet with an ongoing commitment.
